Chapter 296: Send the princess to Luoyang

Hu Cai died in battle, and the responsibility of transporting money and grain from Hedong to Luoyang fell on Han Xian's shoulders.

Every day, there is still a steady stream of copper coins and grain and grass transported from the east of the river across the Yellow River to Luoyang. With the support of strong support, Luoyang City has gradually gained scale. Although it is not enough to compare with the past, it is also a gathering of businessmen, and it has somewhat restored some prosperity.

The renovated Luoyang Palace, although it is not as magnificent as the Luoyang Palace in the past, is not small.

Especially in the huge back garden, the pavilions and pavilions in the garden are lined up one after another, the green trees and flowers reflect each other, and there is even a lake dug out artificially in the garden.

The wide lake is lined with trees of various species, the most concentrated of which is the slender weeping willow.

The wind swept through the willows, and the willow branches swayed back and forth like rippling swings.

Standing under a willow tree, looking at the endless lake in front of him, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and was speechless for a long time.

Standing behind Liu Wei was Guan Qing in military uniform, because she was in the inner courtyard of the palace at the moment, she was not wearing a sword, but only wearing the scale armor that could perfectly set off her sassy and heroic appearance.

"Did the military advisor ask you to come?" Standing facing the lake for a long time, Liu Wei asked Guan Qing behind him leisurely: "On the day General Hu was buried, did this king lose his temper?" ”

"No!" Guan Qing shook his head, and said in a very affirmative tone: "Your Highness's true feelings are revealed, and the last general and others are also deeply touched. As far as the last general knows, many officers and soldiers are already high-spirited, just waiting for His Highness's order to attack the Xiliang Army on all fronts! ”

"I wish I didn't fight again!" Liu Wei lowered his head, raised his hands and rubbed his face vigorously, and after putting down his hand, he sighed and said to Guan Qing: "Since the beginning of the army against this king, there have been countless soldiers buried in other places, and more people have lost their hands and feet, and have become invalids since then. Recently, this king has repeatedly wondered, what are the soldiers doing with their lives so much? Is it really just as some soldiers say, just to be a soldier and eat well? ”

"Nope! The soldiers are for the sake of following the lord who is worthy of follow! As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, Guan Qing took over his words and said to him: "When the last general arrived, General Hu Cai and the soldiers of the department died not long after the new battle. If the last general had arrived with incense earlier, perhaps General Hu would not have died on the bank of the Yellow River. If it's just to eat a full meal, you definitely won't use your life like this! ”

"Is there really not a single living person?" When Guan Qing mentioned the battle that day, Liu Wei's heart suddenly twitched, looked at the sparkling lake, and asked Guan Qing about the situation at that time.

On the same day, Liu Wei led the army to arrive, and the battle was over. Guan Qing attacked with Guan Hai and Tai Shici in three ways, and the Xiliang army only supported two or three pillars of incense, and then it was completely defeated.

Because the Xiliang army was all infantry that day, almost no enemy successfully escaped, part of the Xiliang army was killed on the spot, and most of the Xiliang army surrendered.

But none of the officers and soldiers of Hu Cai's department were alive. What Guan Qing and the others found was nothing more than a broken corpse.

"Nope!" Guan Qing shook his head gloomily, his tone was a little sad, and he said to Liu Wei: "The soldiers under General Hu are all dead. Not one surrendered, and not one survived......"

Liu Wei didn't speak again, staring at the lake in front of him, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and a fierce murderous intent flashed in his eyes in an instant.

"Your Highness!" Standing under the weeping willows with Guan Qing, looking at the sparkling lake, a Yulin guard guarding the backyard of the palace quickly ran to the front, hugged his fists and bowed to Liu Wei and said: "General Han Xian sent money and grain again, and how many carriages came to Luoyang with the general?" ”

"Carriage?" Hearing that Han Xian had escorted the carriage to Luoyang, Liu Wei turned around abruptly and asked that Yu Lin Wei, "Who is in the carriage?" ”

"It is said that there are several princesses!" Maintaining a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, the Yulin guards responded to Liu Wei's words.

Hearing that Tang Ji and others came to Luoyang, Guan Qing, who was standing behind Liu Bian, suddenly darkened, she hugged her fists and said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness has important business to do, and the end will retire!" ”

Although Guan Qing tried her best to behave normally, when she spoke, there was still a bit of bitterness in her tone.

Turning his head to look at Guan Qing, Liu Wei nodded, and gave her a faint order: "General Guan, go and rest!" ”

"No!" Guan Qing responded, bowed down and took two steps back, then turned around and walked towards the outer courtyard.

Seeing the back of Guan Qing leaving, Liu Wei could feel that her steps staggered slightly when she walked, as if she had been stimulated by something.

Liu Wei thought that he knew Guan Qing's thoughts, and he also tried to get close to her, but she flatly refused.

When it comes to pleasing women, Liu Wei is not very good at it. Tang Ji and the others had a pillow with him, but he never understood what these women around him were thinking about.

When Guan Qing's back gradually faded away, Liu Wei waved his hand at Yu Linwei, who reported the news, and said to him: "Prepare immediately to welcome the princess!" ”

Yu Linwei, who reported the news, responded, took two steps back, turned around and ran.

After a while, a team of dozens of Yu Linwei gathered in front of Liu Bian, waiting for Liu Bian's order to welcome the princess.

Looking around at Yu Linwei, who was standing in front of him, Liu Wei waved his hand and shouted to them: "Go!" ”

Leading a team of Yu Linwei, Liu Wei took a big stride, walking briskly towards the front yard along the bluestone paved road.

The backyard of the palace is really too vast, and after walking about two or three pillars of incense, Liu Wei and others came to the front yard. As soon as he entered the front yard, a Yu Linwei guarding the gate of the palace ran over quickly, stood beside Liu Wei, hugged his fists and bowed to him and said: "Your Royal Highness, General Zhao and General Taishi have already gone out of the city to greet the princess on the orders of the military division, and the military division is also waiting for the princess's car outside the palace earlier!" ”

"I know it!" Nodding to that Yu Lin Wei, Liu Wei led a team of Yu Lin Wei who followed behind him, and walked quickly to the main gate of the palace.

The main gate of Luoyang Palace, which is the original palace gate. Liu Wei once drove the night fragrance car, took Tang Ji to deceive the guards, and fled to the market in Luoyang City.

Many days ago, Liu Wei led the army back to Luoyang and came to the gate of this palace again.

After the renovation, the charred area at the main entrance has been repainted, restoring a bit of grandeur and grandeur to the past.

The entire palace was guarded by Yulin Guards, and several Yulin Guards guarding the main gate saw Liu Wei leading people over, and hurriedly bowed with fists and stood on both sides of the door.

Xu Shu, who was standing outside the main gate with some soldiers waiting for Tang Ji and the others to drive, heard footsteps behind him, and hurriedly turned around and looked into the mansion.

Seeing that it was Liu Wei who came out, Xu Shu stepped forward to meet him, hugged his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, the Xiliang Army in the Yin and Hongnong areas of Henan has been cleared, and although the Hedong area is stable, His Highness is far away after all. His subordinates were worried about the safety of the princess, so they specially asked General Han Xian to escort the princess to Luoyang......"

"The military advisor has a heart!" Without waiting for Xu Shu to finish speaking, Liu Wei nodded at him, strode to the side of the road, and looked in the direction of the city gate where Han Xian should enter the city.

Because the princess was about to enter the city, the streets along the way were full of officers and soldiers, and there were no ordinary people on the streets that were crowded with people on weekdays.

"It's just that the princess has entered the city, and with such fanfare, it's really a bit disturbing to the people!" After glancing at the street twice, and seeing the streets full of officers and soldiers and empty streets, Liu Wei turned his head and said to Xu Shu on the side: "Military divisions don't have to be like this. ”

"The Xiliang Army dares to go through Hongnong and go straight to Henan Yin, and now in Luoyang City, people are also quite chaotic!" Listening to Liu Weiluo's words with a little reproach, Xu Shu clenched his fists and bowed down, and said to him very respectfully: "Your Excellency knows that Your Highness loves the people and does not want to disturb the people more. But the Assassins were the easiest to hide among the people. If you slack off, the Assassins will take advantage of it, so it's better to be cautious! ”

"What the military advisor said is true!" Thinking of the fact that the Xiliang Army passed through Hongnong County from under the noses of the scouts a few days ago and went straight to Henan Yin, Liu Wei was a burst of resentment in his heart, because he got the news that Tang Ji and others had come to Luoyang, and his slightly excited face was filled with dark clouds in an instant, he nodded in agreement, and said to Xu Shu: "It's the king's carelessness!" ”

"Your Highness, here!" Liu Wei was talking to Xu Shu, and a Yu Linwei standing behind him raised his hand and pointed to the end of the street, and said to Liu Wei: "The princess's car is here!" ”

Hearing Yu Linwei's shout, Liu Wei and Xu Shu both turned their faces to the street that Yu Linwei was pointing to. Looking along the market, they really saw Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Ci riding side by side, followed by Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Ci, there were several carriages with black carriages, surrounded by a team of Yu Linwei and slowly moving forward.

Looking at the carriage that was getting closer and closer, Liu Wei, who was pale because of the mention of the Xiliang Army, finally had a smile on his face.

It has been several months since he left Anyi for Luoyang that day, and it has been some days since Liu Wei was separated from Tang Ji and others. Although he couldn't find the heart-pounding feeling that Guan Qing brought him in these three women, he could get along with them for a long time, after all, he still had a deep feeling.

As the team got closer and closer, Liu Wei could already hear the sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the bluestone pavement. The wooden wheels rolled against the pavement, making a "pimple" sound.

"Your Highness!" Outside the palace gate, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici turned over and dismounted at the same time, hugged their fists and bowed, Zhao Yun said to Liu Wei: "The last general will usher in the princess!" ”

Nodding to the two, Liu Wei looked at the team and asked in surprise, "Why don't you see General Han Xian?" ”

"Back to Your Highness!" Zhao Yun maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, and said to Liu Wei: "After General Han Xian entered the city, he escorted the money and grain, and went straight to the treasury to hand over!" ”

"It's hard for him!" Liu Wei nodded and said to Zhao Yun: "You ordered someone to inform General Han and ask him to send money and grain, and enter the palace to meet the king." “

"No!" Zhao Yun responded, turned his head and said to a Yu Linwei who followed behind him: "Go to the treasury to pass on His Highness's order, ask General Han Xian to hand over the money and grain, and immediately come to the palace to meet His Highness!" ”

That Yu Lin Wei responded, first hugged his fists and bowed back two steps, then turned around and jumped on the war horse, and rode the horse towards the direction of the treasury.

"Your Highness!" As soon as Yu Linwei, who had received the order, left, Liu Wei heard a sweet voice.

Following the sound and looking at the carriage, what Liu Wei saw was that Tang Ji got out of the carriage at the front, and Tao Huanniang and Cai Yan also walked out of the two carriages behind after Tang Ji got out of the carriage.
